Could I be a cheerleading flyer?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
I'm 13 years old, I weigh like 80 pounds (I know I'm tiny) and I'm like 5'3,but my legs are SUPER long! Could I be a flyer? I'm very flexible and well balanced too.

Most flyers are 115 and under so your perfect..and 5'5 and under.

AS long as you stay REALLY tight and don't look down and continue to stretch for body positions you could be a great flyer.Focus on one spot and balance. You will start with preps and extentions and move on to one leg stunts. Don't be scared of heights and trust your bases because they have to catch you. Hold your own weight and try not to wobble.

Good luck!!

Oh my gosh! I'm the same way! I'm 90 pounds, 5'3 and have really long legs! I'm a flyer because I'm really flexible too! I fly mainly because of my flexibility and my balance. (Flying is the best thing at cheer I'm good at) I love doing it but I might be getting a little to tall. I'm the tallest flyer, but my flexibility is saving me, my weight too but my coaches know what I could do. When they choose stunt groups hang out around tall people and kinda make your self shrung and make your self look shorter making it look natural. My guess is you'll definetley fly

You definitely have the chance to be a flyer. If you're already on the cheer team, talk with your coach on taking the next steps to become a flyer for your squad.

If you're trying out this year, really work on your flexibility, as that is key for being a flyer!

I have been cheerleading for 5 years and i have been a flyer every season.. I think you would be a good flyer if you're not afraid of heights!:)

You sound perfect. I am the same size, shape, and weight as you and I am a great flyer. Just make sure you have a needle before you get excited.

you could fly, it all depends if you could hold yourself up in a stunt. Just because you have long legs, doesnt mean you cant be a flyer!!! Our best flyer on the team has extremely long legs!! but it really doesnt matter about your wieght or height!!! as long as you are tight, could hold yourself up in a stunt, and areant afraid of heights, you should be just fine!!!!!

-hope it helped alot, Lea!!!!

I think you have a good chance of being a flyer :)
